Chapter 22: Chatterbox
Trunks 'thumped' his head on the ceiling of the pod while turning to see who addressed him. His eye found a green haired lady who had dark green eyes and her right arm in a makeshift sling. "Yes I am. I am looking for the person who came in this." "Your looking at her." She replied. "I found this baby at the landfill. A little tinkering was all it took for me to figure out how to run it. Amazing technology Capusle Corp. has." Trunks nodded as his heart sank yet again but he tried not to let his face show how his heart took the news. "Well, let's get you back to my place so we can get that arm of yours checked out." He said as he capsulated the pod and picked her up. "I can walk there. And how did you do that?" She inquired. "It is a 3 day walk home from here and my girlfriend made that machine." He said as he levitated into the air. Her face faltered before she let out a small shriek and threw her good arm around his neck, nearly choking him in the process. It took a few moments before she relaxed her grip on his throat. "You have a girlfriend and she lets you go around picking up and bringing girls back to your place anytime you feel like it?" "Whats your name?" Trunks asked, looking straight ahead and avoiding her question. "Morgan Nuelle. And thank you for your kindness. I don't think that too many people would take in a random wanderer who just happened to fall from the sky." "Well, the android's have changed people everywhere. By the way, my name is Trunks Briefs." He said as he set her down on the front lawn of the Capsule Corp. Building. She stood awestruck for a few minutes. Then her tongue came back to her. "Hey aren't you and your friends supposedly helping people rebuild their villages?" Trunks nodded as he held the door open for her to walk in. "Well, Amberstone 'bout 30 kilometers over that way is completely demolished. Every living person has buried their dead and moved on to a new village. No need to go rebuild over there. I was one of the luck-" *Dende, she never shuts up does she? This just what I need, another Mindy. Make my life a living hell.* "MOM!! I brought you someone to help!!" Trunks yelled into the house over Mindy, who continued to chatter away. "And when I was 20 I saw a man named Goku and another man named Vegeta fighting in a tournament. That was the first time in my entire life I had nothing to say. Do you ever get lost in here?" Trunks forced a smile as his mother finally appeared. "No, I don't. I am going back to bed." Trunks said as he left his mother with the annoying lady. ***** He couldn't sleep. Only one thought was in his head. He had failed. He had failed to keep his promise, just like the other Trunks did. He promised Marron she would always be safe and he promised her that they would live together forever. He cried, because he had failed in this one task. It had been 2 years and he still hadn't gotten over it. Morgan's voice echoed through every wall in his room as the 2 women walked up the staircase on the other side of his room. He held his breath, afraid that Morgan would hear him breath and come pester him. Silently he listened as his mother talked to her as they walked by his door. "And this will be your room for tonight. Tomorrow you arm will be all better and Trunks will take you into a near by town so you can get settled in." "Thank you Mrs. Briefs. You are a super-genius, creating those liquid medications that can heal a new fracture so fast." "Well, it has been needed around her quite a bit so I've been working on it for quite some time." Bulma bragged as she walked back by his door alone. "And Morgan." *No no no. Don't say it!* Trunks pleaded silently. "If you are hungry, come on down and I will fix you something to eat." "That would be wonderful. I haven't had a good hot meal in ages." Mindy said as she bounded past his door and down the stairs with his mother. Trunks sighed, glad his mother didn't tell her where his room was. He stared at the ceiling and slowly began to fall asleep.
